Granny Takes a Dip Review

So this little baby I had in my Lush basket for a while and decided why not give it a shot. This one to me wasn't all that special, it turned the water pretty color and ended up this lilac color and a lot of bubbles. However the bubbles were short lived, like 5 minutes. The smell was very sweet.  So all in all it was good, nothing to special . So if you want to see pretty colors and have a few bubbles, then you will enjoy this one. 

Merry Christmas

Dashing Santa

Found this little beauty while searching through Lush's Christmas items the other day. Dashing Santa has to be one of my favorite holiday bath bombs. Lush has the perfect description for it :Just as jolly Old St. Nick races around delivering presents to good girls and boys on Christmas Eve, this Dashing Santa Bath Bomb will fly around the tub, dashing to and fro. His golden boots fizz away quickly, releasing an uplifting Satsuma-scented aroma made up of mandarin, bergamot and orange absolute. He also has a bit of a snowflake luster to give your water a beautiful sparkle, giving you a reason to sit back and revel in a long, lingering soak.

Can I also say its does a great job at moisturizing!!

Lush Aromaco Deordant

Got this as a sample when I had purchased some bath bombs. When I first got the sample I really liked it and it worked well, but once I purchased it I'm not to sure how I feel about it. I mean I still like how it works, the smell isn't that bad but its a whole lot stronger in the bigger pieces. My only problem with it is I cannot use it every day, if I do my underarms become red. Only thing I can see is that I'm allergic to Sulfa products, so maybe this has a strong content of it?! Not to sure, other then that it works great.

Lush Nighttime Favorites

This is one of my favorite facial cleaners. It is kind of like a clay, you add a little water and it thins out, it also smells like an ocean (yes that is seaweed). I actually got this as a sample when I ordered some bath bombs and what can I say, i love it. It really helped my face with blemishes. I know usually after long days at work the last thing I feel like doing is taking make up off. I keep this pod in a cute basket by the tub and I use this every night now. 

This is a great facial scrub. I use this 3-4 times a week. Its also kept next in my basket next to my tub. Its a blue white color that smells like the beach, I also find its more like a rough sand/salty texture to it.

Lastly I use Coalface. They say this produce really helps clean out the pores. To me it smells kind of like black licorice, but it helps keep my face clear. Kept in my soap. :)
